Fab ain’t free

Sawadee ka! It’s me Tippy, your holy gayness and top fashion correspondent. Isn’t our PM so hot? Did you see the outfit she wore to review the troops in Laos! Purr-fect. But I don’t know how she manage to keep it together, na. I can tell you, if I were in her Jimmy Choo stiletto, I would pinch those Lao boy butts faster than she can say, “Tax incentive!” Our PM, she really has self-control.I have something to tell her, though. I am so pissed off, jing jing. I buy a pink Nissan March three months ago and, now, she’s giving them away for free.

What is it: Three parts vodka, one part lemon juice and six parts tomato juice (plus all the tangy Tabasco, horseradish and pepper you can handle).

Where is it from: The Bloody Mary's origins are blurry (kinda like last night). The cocktail could be named after England's Queen Mary 1st, a Chicago barmaid, or the actress Mary Pickford.

Famous Bloody Mary fans: Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and anyone who's ever had a hangover.


Where to find the tastiest, tangiest and most inventive Bloody Marys in Shanghai:

For a super-spicy Bloody Mary: The Shanghai D' @ St. Regis Hotel's Mezzanine Lounge

This concoction takes inspiration from Chinese cuisine, adding Sichuan peppercorns and soy sauce to the mix. It's a tongue-numbing treat.

For a classic Bloody Mary: Classic Bloody Mary @ Downstairs

Downstairs has several variations on the Bloody Mary, but the classic is, well, a classic. It comes in a glass with a salt-encrusted rim, garnished with a sprig of rosemary and two baby carrots.

If you want to make your own Bloody Mary: DIY Bloody Mary @ KABB

One of the most interesting cocktail experiences in Shanghai, KABB's DIY Bloody Mary is great for folk who like to control the spice levels (or ramp them up to the max).

If you care about presentation: Bloody Mary in a jar @ Kommune

Presentation is what sets the Bloody Mary apart at Tianzifang favorite Kommune. It comes in a sturdy glass jar, and packs a punch.

For a new twist on a Bloody Mary: Bloody Sunday @ SUGAR

Every Sunday from 1.30pm to 6.30pm, let your creativity run wild at SUGAR's Bloody Mary mash up. Mix your own using traditional ingredients, as well as more unusual flavors. Tequila Bloody Mary, anyone...?
